ORIGINAL VERSION
Oh say, can you see,
by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched,
were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there.
Oh say, does that star-spangled
banner yet wave?
O'er the land of the free,
and the home of the brave?

MISUNDERSTOOD VERSION
Oh, José, can you sing
by the Don's earthly right?
But so loudly we wailed
after my wife's fast leaving.
Who's brought rice and wide stars
to the fair of less light?
For the lamb parts we washed
were so gallantly bleeding.
And the rock is red there,
the bombs burst in your hair.
They move through the light
and our Jaguar's still there.
José, does that star say you'll
man or get made?
For the hand up a tree,
and alone up the rave!
